intoPIX has launched a new generation of UHDTV codecs to answer the growing interest for 4K and 8K resolutions. The ULTRAHDTV JPEG2000 codecs, called IPX-JPUHD, have been developed on the new generation of 28nm FPGA from Altera and Xilinx. The codecs fit in a single FPGA chip. The performances achieve 60 frames per second with a respective maximum compression bitrate of 2Gbps for 4K and 8Gbps for 8K at a visually lossless quality. “We are focusing on providing 4K and 8K codecs with the lowest footprint and lowest power consumption achievable in the current FPGA”, said Gael Rouvroy, CTO of intoPIX. The first product release is planned for Q4 2012. www.intopix.com
